Abstract: A marker lamp having a transparent cylindrical tube in which are mounted a plurality of incandescent filament-type bulbs spaced along the longitudinal axis of the tube. Either the outer or inner surface of the tube has straight striations or grooves extending longitudinally of the tube. When the bulbs are illuminated, there is formed in the tube a light halo centered on each bulb and lying in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tube.

Abstract: A lifting-type boat trailer which collapses to a substantially flat position to allow the trailer to be driven between the pontoons of a pontoon boat with its pontoons sitting on the ground. A winch fixed to the front of the trailer applies force via a cable both to the front end of the trailer through a pulley attachment and also to the rear end of the trailer through a bell crank mechanism whose effective working lever arm varies from a maximum at the collapsed position of the trailer to a minimum at the fully raised position, whereby lifting forces applied to the trailer are self-equalizing so that the maximum lifting forces are always applied to those points of the trailer which are subjected to the heaviest weight load. The maximum lifting force is automatically transferred from the rear to the front of the trailer as the trailer is raised.
